Watching John Kerry give Colin Powell's speech I am disgusted

146. wow! and here is kerry to the rescue...

...what a wonderful COINCIDENCE that the man with so much knowledge of syria is made secretary of state just in time for a war there! who could be more credible? and a DEMOCRAT no less (we all know how anti-war they are). it's almost enough to make one think there is a divine hand at work here (or some kind of hand).

so, beyond the sarcasm...i have to admit i'm not up on the details of this, but i assert: i don't have to be. that is because i proceed from long established principles: 1) war (boots-on-the-ground or not) is morally wrong unless one is defending oneself against attack. 2) NO military action by u.s. imperialism is for the good, EVER. No person of conscience or political understanding can support u.s. imperialism (if you're going to deny the existence of u.s. imperialism, or any other form of imperialism, we have nothing to talk about). whatever is going on in syria (or anywhere else in the world), u.s imperialism has been a major player in creating the conditions we see today.

there you have it. if one's "in depth" knowledge doesn't include and proceed from that, one is off track. ergo, kerry is off track.
